JBL Charge 2 is a truly portable compact stereo speaker system with room-filling sound and a battery with capacity enough to power your whole lifestyle. Social Mode lets up to three people take turns streaming the music from their mobile phone, tablet, or laptop play-lists. With AUX-in and Bluetooth wireless streaming, JBL Charge 2 accepts virtually any sound source. Dual drivers and twin passive bass radiators deliver a powerful sound experience with big bass and a 75Hz to 20kHz punch. Its 6000 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery keeps the music going for a full 12 hours, with power to spare for charging phones, tablets, and other devices through its USB port.

“We redesigned our JBL Charge 2 portable speaker system from the ground up to make a perfect speaker system even better,” said Michael Mauser, president, Lifestyle Division, HARMAN. “To the best-in-class audio, massive battery life and charging capability, we've added a raft of state-of-the-art enhancements, including Bluetooth Social Mode.”

But JBL Charge 2 connectivity is not just about the music; it's also about staying connected. Use Bluetooth to communicate with friends through JBL Charge 2 hands-free conference speakerphone. ATI SoundClear® echo cancellation speakerphone technology, and the built-in MWM conferencing microphone ensure low-noise, crystal-clear phone conversations. And Charge 2's backlit controls make it easy to use wherever you need great sound and portable charging.
